It's on the Save tab of Tools | Options in Word 97 and on the Security tab
in Word 2002, so it should be in one of those places in Word 2000.

Click Tools­> Options
Click the SAVE tab
At the bottom, enter a password in the PASSWORD TO OPEN box.
Click OK
Save the file.

Just to clarify Suzanne's answer, she is referring to the Tools tab of the
SaveAs dialog.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

No, I'm not. I'm referring to the Save (or Security) tab of Tools | Options
(just as I said). This is also accessible using the Options button in the
Save As dialog in Word 97; in Word 2002, there is a Tools menu that includes
both Save Options and Security Options; presumably there is something
similar in Word 2000.

Well the NGs are really a jumble. I see your reply to my reply, but I cannot
see my reply!

I think they may be unjumbled now, but keep your fingers crossed.
